Chapter 13. Kernel network parameters

The kernel has lots of parameters which
can be tuned for different circumstances. While, as usual, the default
parameters serve 99% of installations very well, we don't call this the
Advanced HOWTO for the fun of it!

The interesting bits are in /proc/sys/net, take a look there. Not everything
will be documented here initially, but we're working on it.

In the meantime you may want to have a look at the Linux-Kernel sources;
read the file Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt. Most of the
features are explained there.
